Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. I wonder if costochondritis should be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, costochondritis is mostly considered to be a sequelae caused by previous trauma, which can easily lead to recurrent rib pain or limited movement. In terms of treatment, both traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be used. It is recommended to take herbal medicine for regulating qi and relieving pain for now. Specific medication should be followed according to the doctor's advice. Acupuncture or physical therapy can also be used in combination to help alleviate pain. Maintain a regular lifestyle and daily routine.
